I made my ONLINE reservation in late July 2013. 7/27/13 to be exact; I found the email confirmation.
The Elio website went through a major overhaul sometime between then and now. (October 2013?)

This thread has long since run it's course on anything really substantive about the Elio. In these circumstances It's sometimes more revealing about the person commenting rather than the subject mater. For example; I had not the slightest idea that so many here have not a clue of anything of real substance. LOL
If you had not your cynicism you'd be completely vacuous. LOL

Well in terms of the moderator, I think goofyone has done a very good job. He seems to accept that there is some criticism when there is merit.
There is merit to a lot of criticism that can be brought up against the Elio. The people, like myself, WTE, Pj Rogers, Ekh, bring legitimate concerns that many people that haven't pitched in wonder. I know a lot of us people that criticize the Elio actually really like it. Like the design and have admitted that we would buy one if made.
The problem isn't the car.....its the company.

I did read it but it was 4 years ago so I used the latest figure Paul put out there that I could find. It made for a more accurate assessment. Paul also said they aren't using reservations to fund the company.
No problem with the Elio concept.........no problem with the Elio Company. The problem is NEGATIVE SPECULATION. My personal opinion is that when a thread gets personal lock it.
Moderators, thanks for the work you do.......otherwise there would be no discussion.

Completely agree with the personal attacks. They come from the "Negative" and "Positive" side and usually is only a few people.
The problem isn't "NEGATIVE SPECULATION", its the lack of "POSITIVE CONCRETE INFORMATION"......some people disagree when I say they should post results and tests whether they are great or ok. I don't think its hard to see why many people aren't buying in yet......just not enough proof out there.
Honestly here is what the "Negative speculators" think:
The elio gets 84 mpg - How do you know without real world testing?
The elio has a 5 star safety rating - Again has there been real world testing? If so great! Show it.
The price point is $6800 - We will see when it is made.
The elio has an engine designed by IAV - Lets see several of these motors in the car then there will be some interest.
Those are just a few things that the "Negative speculators" think.....but its not speculation. They are just questions and concerns. If it were speculation, I would would say "Elio is probably just buying cheap hookers with all that deposit money".
Now the point is not for a "Negative Speculator" to prove the "Positive" one wrong.....The burden is on the positive side to prove to the people who don't believe. Again, people in this economy need some real meat to bite into with this.
